Ok, on the new 700r4 I just put in (84-v6) I can't get over about 45 or so. And when I go to wot, it won't downshift, is this something in the tranny or what? It seems to not want to shift till I let off the gas, then put it down again. thanks.

 

I need to understand just what is happening. Will it not go past 45 because the engine is winding out to redline or you just can't get the car any faster? If it is the former do this: To adjust the TV Cable skip the book method and do this: Press the D button on the adjuster and loosen the cable setting. Now, have someone floor the gas pedal while you check to see if the throttle plate is open all the way. Usually they are off a little and will wiggle. Do whatever you have to do to get it open solid. Now, with the pedal still floored, press the D button and pull the cable casing (the black tube) back as hard as you can and release the button. You now have the engine, tranny and gas pedal all in sync at WOT. Mark the cable so if for some reason it gets moved you can know where to put it again. The problem with the 'self adjust method' is that it bends things and puts them permanently out of whack. It is also the full TV setting, which is theoretically what the GM method does.
Now if it is the latter then start looking for a plugged exhaust or a fuel problem, etc.
